If you wish to go further on some of the topics we discussed, here is an interesting Fall seminar by Ken Cross,

“Top 10” U.S. Domestic Issues & Potential Solutions: This Fall 2018 I will be repeating this seminar. If you haven’t yet attended, you’re invited. If you have attended, please pass the attached flyer/write-up to a friend.

Seminar description: This seminar focuses on current U.S. domestic, social justice issues and potential solutions to poverty (hunger & food insecurity, homelessness, affordable housing, jobs & income inequality), diversity, equity, and mass incarceration – crime, punishment & prison reform, immigration, healthcare, education, climate change & a sustainable world, and money, dysfunctional politics & campaign finance reform (capitalism and the erosion of democracy).
